First off, sorry if im repeating old threads im new to the site.
I need some help on deciding the right cam for my 1990 fxsts and I've narrowed it down to a woods 6, or a dave mackie 530 or 580. Heads will be ported and polished possibly bigger springs if needed and I'll be running 10:1 wiseco pistons, s&s super e carb, dyna ignition and 2-1 exhaust. I dont know enough about the lift, duration, etc... numbers to know how to make the right decision. I dont want to go too big or too small. Fyi, I don't usually like riding 2 up and I like light-to-light racing with my buddys. Please help. Any info or suggestions are appreciated.

Ask whoever is doing your heads. He will know what works with his style of head work. You must define your riding style and desires to convey to him what your goals and expectations are.
